Clearance sale at local fish store

[SirMinion]

I don't come in here often, but I thought I had to tell everyone about this.

Swallow Aquatics in Colchester, Essex is moving locations and are selling of livestock at knock-down prices including premium cured liverock at 25% off.

All FW fish are BOGOF and most marine fish are reduced too. some great deals.

Sorry to sound like spam but this is too good to miss!

I was only up there about 3 weeks ago and purchased alot of very expensive fish! A bit far for me to make use of the deal though ( 900 mile round trip) )

If anyone is in the area though and is considering taking a look then i whole heartedly recomend it, the shop has very high standards and excellant quality stock... In fact the only place i have ever seen a tank with a shoal of 5 Achilles tangs! (Your usually lucky to have 1 achilles tang surive in a tank)

Ill buy a ticket to the UK ASAP!

Nav, if you liked Swallows Colchester, you would love Swallows Rayleigh (the flagship store) they have a display tank around the 300 to 400 gallon mark for reef and another tank around th 500 mark for a FOLR with a couple of morays, some scats a cleaner wrasse, some dogfish and some fish I have no idea about. Admittedly they can have some unsuitable fish (like a cut 1" box fish...)

However, I'm heading towards Colchester tomorrow, may have to check out the old swallows.

Wellllllll
It wasnt just to go visit Swallow aquatics...

Recently tehre was a Reefers weekend in the area which i attended. This event was for all marine forums across the entire UK and had alot of interest. We stayed at a local Pontins in the area for a very cheap price (moderators went free of charge!)

The entire weekend was dedicated to reefkeeping as well as family entertainment for the kids etc. Over the weekend we had a coach trip to Swallow aquatics (whcich i was very impressed with) and another store nearby.

On the final day i drove back to swallow aquatics to make some purchases and then drove back home.

I live in the far southwest of england (Cornwall) and swallow aquatics is in the far eastern side of the UK. The trip was 443 miles for me (i know cos i won a prize for the most miles travelled ) so it is 886 miles to be precise

Here is the website for the Reefkeepers weekend. Its being held again next September for anyone who wishes to go along and join in the fun!
